The ACCN in NY alone makes Syracuse worth it.
Maroon Baboon • 07/30/23 08:17 PM ET
I agree with that, but wake has to make that decision. They will not
Big12 guy • 07/30/23 09:01 PM ET
The miracle is the ACC is one of the final 5 left standing
Vippie1 • 07/30/23 05:23 PM ET

Notre Dame is not even a psuedo ACC program when it comes to football. **
wwhokie1 • 07/30/23 08:27 PM ET
95% is #1. If they had done a shorter tv deal then
Colonel Jessup • 07/30/23 02:27 PM ET
alot of hindsight here however. a couple of points
Mercury • 07/30/23 02:07 PM ET
Imagine if they took Penn State with FSU. **

ren_hoek • 07/30/23 01:43 PM ET
And before that VT was the only consistently contending program. The ACC
wwhokie1 • 07/30/23 08:30 PM ET
It wasn't quite the same time, it helped VT but not the ACC at the time
Synaesthesia • 07/30/23 02:51 PM ET
Huh? Could you elaborate on that "money will follow"?**
33laszlo99 • 07/30/23 02:39 PM ET
Simple Exactly case closed.
Mercury • 07/30/23 02:19 PM ET
This is the key point that I think people here disagree on

Bad timing, bad luck....... ◄

Add on the bad deal that Tech signed with...
Old Line Hokie • 07/30/23 01:51 PM ET
actually that was Whit biggest mistake
Mercury • 07/30/23 06:10 PM ET
Every day I am utterly baffled by UNC - they could be top 10-15 program
VPI_1998 • 07/30/23 01:55 PM ET
It’s their fans
OrlandoHokie • 07/30/23 06:54 PM ET
Yep. They have the same "potential" as Ohio State, FSU, Penn State...**
Old Line Hokie • 07/30/23 04:20 PM ET
Bad decisions and (for at least 5 years running now) bad football have
VPI_1998 • 07/30/23 01:41 PM ET
It is still a lot of money. Way better than big 12 or pac 12.
SpeakToDamien • 07/30/23 01:09 PM ET

Nothing compared to a Big Ten school. **
reestuart • 07/30/23 06:45 PM ET
Let's not forget that the big10 sucks in both football and basketball
ren_hoek • 07/30/23 01:35 PM ET
They suck? LOL. **
reestuart • 07/30/23 03:13 PM ET
Correct - and men's basketball is even worse - no title since 2000!
